Jigsaw Puzzles

This story has been translated from Japanese into English by Saya.

A cryptic story.Easy peasy!

As I have started living by myself recently, I decided to decorate my room with jigsaw puzzles.
Those are the type that, after receiving light, glow in the dark, and I really like the soft light they give off.

The other night when I returned home, the puzzles were glowing faintly in the dark,
and seeing that made me feel instantly warm and fuzzy inside, because it was as if the puzzles were welcoming me home.

I'm already itching to work on another set of puzzles.
Next time I might buy one that's the same size but has 2000 pieces.

Oh, I think because the narrator lives alone, and they say the house was dark when they came home...where did the puzzles absorb the light to glow from? So someone else was using the light=in the room, while the narrator was gone. Glow int the dark things take a long time to absorb light, too, so it must have been for a long time...how creepy.

Hi Saya-san.This is a good one.I got the same theory like Garrick.Even if somehow light from outside (either sun or lamp post) filtered into the room from a window, i don't think it's enough for the puzzles to absorb.

Hi Saya :) Ok...so it will probably like this;1. There's someone in the house that light on the room earlier. Burglar/Killer.

OR

2. There's something supernatural phenomenon happen when he/she's leaving, like accumulation of orbs that stay in the dark, that the narrator never think of instead admiring it..If he/she's buying another 2000 pieces, be aware there'l will ve 2000 more space for orbs (spirits) to live in;)

I think those glowing puzzles only grow for a short while after they've absorbed light, and therefore they can't be glowing because they had absorbed sunlight during the day (I'm not so sure about this, so if there is evidence to the contrary please let me know!).

I think the answer that makes the most sense is that someone was in the room and had the lights on not long before the narrator came home.

@Farz Wolf: Do you mean that what the narrator saw weren't puzzles but glowing souls?

Welcome!
